The cost of a tree appraisal depends on the number of trees being appraised, the complexity of the situation, and how the report will be used. A single-tree appraisal for an insurance claim or legal matter typically ranges from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand. Because our appraisals are signed by an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist — the highest credential in the field — they carry the authority needed to hold up in court, with insurance companies, and with government agencies. Contact us for a free consultation and we'll give you a clear estimate upfront.

Most appraisals are completed within a few business days of the site visit. If you're working under a legal or insurance deadline, let us know — we understand that timing is often critical and we make every effort to accommodate urgent situations.

Yes, if it's prepared correctly. Insurance companies require appraisals to follow recognized valuation standards — specifically the methodology established by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers (CTLA). Our reports are prepared to those exact standards and signed by an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, which is the credential insurers and adjusters look for when evaluating a claim.

Quite possibly, yes — and this is one of the most overlooked situations where homeowners leave money on the table. When a government agency, utility, or developer acquires a street easement, trees in or near the right-of-way are often removed or significantly damaged. You may be entitled to compensation, but agencies are not required to volunteer the full value of your trees. A certified appraisal gives you the documentation to negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than just accepting whatever you're offered.

Three things: the credentials of the person who signs it, the methodology used, and the quality of the documentation. Our appraisals are signed by an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist — a credential that requires passing a rigorous exam and meeting significant experience requirements. We use the ISA/CTLA Trunk Formula Method, the recognized industry standard. And our reports include site photos, tree measurements, species identification, and a clearly documented valuation process. That combination is what makes a report credible to a judge, insurance adjuster, or opposing attorney.
